Granting divine punishment?
When Kono heard this statement before, he would feel frightened and frightened by some miraculous things.
But since he knew that the magic that An Yuanjun learned from the self-protecting protoss was actually a trick to deceive and abduct him, he had great doubts about the theory of divine punishment.
I don’t want to hear Iwasasaburo deceiving himself anymore, so I get back to the business.
"Iwasa-kun, don't we need to learn how the Beidi people responded and create an illusion again?"
"No, this is Xuanwu Lake, not Fuya Street. Besides, the island in the middle of Xuanwu Lake is so close to here. Who in Jinling would have thought that we would go around the lake and go straight down the river into the moat?"
The small island in the middle of the lake is a private domain, and the government has to avoid it.
After night falls, except for the lanterns on the Shen Family Bridge in the distance, which are emitting light, and the vague silhouettes of guards on duty, it is as quiet as a paradise.
Long before An Yuan-kun's accident happened, Saburo Iwasa had arranged for manpower and decided to rent a large boat here and send the money to Xuanwu Lake under the guise of a businessman's banquet and send the money outside the moat to avoid the interrogation procedures at the city gate .
When the incident happened, it was just an advance of the plan.
Nowadays, apart from the fact that the boatmen have been replaced by manpower, there is not much impact.
"Wow~~"
Someone popped up from the water, wiped a handful of broken lotus leaves on his face, and spoke in a low voice.
"Iwasa-kun, Kono-kun, there is nothing strange on the lake. The Shen family seems to have fewer guards on duty than usual because Miss Shen is not on the island in the middle of the lake tonight."
That's really God helping me!
Saburo Iwasa and Kono saw Shen Youchu going to Xiaoxiang Pavilion with their own eyes.
I didn't pay attention to this change at all.
In their view, there was chaos in Jinling City due to the three-party fight. Shen Youchu stayed in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion all night and stayed away all night. If the Shen family guards did not leave, they would have to worry about whether their whereabouts would be discovered, and they would have to investigate. Wait until you are sure it is safe before leaving.
Now that everything is as expected, we can set off directly.
"Kono-kun, you go first, I will follow."
The queen at this time is not like the abandoned son after the city is interrupted, and he is destined to die.
On the contrary, it is those who are at the front who are most at risk.
Although Kono thought that tonight was a near miss, but... forget it, what he just said was in vain. It seems that Iwasa-kun is only focused on the present and doesn't even think about what to do if he leaves the city.
With Shangguan looking up and down like this, Kono could only plunge into the water.
It was Jinling who caused the trouble, and he was the person in charge of the Jinling stronghold, so it was only natural for him to clear the way.
However, in order to prevent accidents from happening, Kono used his usual cautious attitude and sent two people as forwards to explore the situation in the water within a hundred feet.
If there is a change, you can let everyone abandon the money and escape first, and then come back to make money after the storm has passed.
After all, no one would have thought that the money they defrauded from the wealthy businessmen in Jinling would be under the eyes of the people of Jinling every day.
It wasn't gone before, and it won't be discovered in the future.
Hua Hua Hua...
The two leaders, Kono and Iwasasaburo, entered the battle lightly.
It's because there are subordinates carrying the burden for them.
Since gold in Japan was very precious and difficult to circulate, all the banknotes were exchanged for silver.
Two hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver were packed into twenty-two boxes.
One thousand taels per box, which doesn't sound like much, but it weighs very heavy after being submerged in water.
In addition, in order to allow more manpower to stay and attract the attention of Jinling Mansion, only three people were assigned to escort each box.
Two people carry the box, one person goes with him, and three people work in groups, changing people and swimming forward without stopping the box.
It would be fine if he swam in a straight line.
Because there are Shen family guards guarding Xuanwu Lake nearby, and the island in the middle of the lake occupies an irregular area.
They still have to go around five miles on the original basis. Only they themselves know the difficulties and dangers during the journey.
"Gulu gulu..."
A Japanese man fell behind due to leg cramps. He wanted to take a breather, but felt a cold weapon pressing against his waist.
When he turned around, he saw Saburo Iwasa holding a dagger in the water.
Although this person couldn't see Iwasasaburo's face clearly across the lake, he could still feel the other person's urging and the ferocious look like an evil spirit.
I could only grit my teeth, squeeze my calf hard, and swim forward quickly.
It wasn't until Kono, who was leading the way, stopped that the exhausted Japanese were able to take a breather.
This is where the living water connects a private lotus pond that is about to wither. Not far away there is a nursing home walking back and forth.
Swim two miles further and you will reach the moat.
Kono jumped out of the water, sat on the rockery protruding from the pond, and saw the city wall not far away at a glance.
At this time, there was a sudden cold feeling on the back of his waist. He wiped the cool lake water on his face and turned his head, and saw Iwasasaburo sticking his head out.
"Kono-san, who told you to stop?!"
Iwasasaburo's voice was full of anger.
Seeing how unreasonable he was, Kono could only lower his voice and explain.
"Iwasa-kun, everyone is tired after swimming for so long in one breath. It's okay if the front passes safely. If an accident occurs, or the moat is heavily guarded due to changes in the city tonight, we will have to lurk in the water and wait for the opportunity. I I think that if everyone rests for a while before setting off, more dangers can be prevented."
Iwasasaburo could not refute these well-founded words.
But Saburo Iwasa didn't give up this opportunity to win over people to Kono-kun. Instead, after seeing everyone's angry and dissatisfied eyes, he took the opportunity to blame everyone.
"I asked you, Kono-san, to lead the way because I wanted you to reasonably judge when it's time to rest. I didn't expect that your swimming skills are much better than ours. You swam here to let everyone take a breather."
****!
Kono wanted to curse.
But thinking that unity was the most important thing at this time, and not competing with Iwasa Saburo for credit, he held it back and gave a fake smile: "Iwasa-kun is right, then let's rest for a while before setting off."
Iwasasaburo happened to be tired from swimming, so he ran to the rocks on the rockery and breathed in the fresh air.
Bang bang bang!
Until the sound of the watch was heard not far away, the Japanese people who were resting on the rocks were like frightened birds. They were all frightened and did not dare to rest anymore.
"Kono-kun, let's get out of the city as soon as possible."
Someone spoke tremblingly, and others nodded in agreement. Without waiting for Iwasaburo's reply, they all dived into the water.
Maybe it was because they had been soaked in the water for too long. For some reason, they all felt an unprecedented sense of crisis in their hearts.
"Now that everyone has rested, we won't rest midway and will go all the way to the moat."
As Kono was talking, the two Japanese who were in charge of inquiring at the front turned back and made a gesture towards this side.
Diving silently into the water again.
Kono suddenly became energetic and reported to Iwasasaburo.
"Iwasa-kun, there is no abnormality from the front to the moat."
"Of course, my plan will never go wrong."
Saburo Iwasa spared no effort to show off his superiority, and did not mention this plan at all. In fact, it was formulated by An Yuan Tetsuji in order to send out the money exactly.
Anyway, An Yuan Chezhi is dead. The credit belongs to him, and the guilty belongs to the deceased.
Kono refused to comment on Iwasasaburo's boast and immediately plunged into the water.
He didn't care about his merits or demerits at this time, he only had one idea.
Out of town!
…
The moat section outside the city.
Yu Zhengrong led his troops ten feet away from the water, and prepared bows, arrows and kerosene according to what Ning Wuchang said.
It had been more than an hour since I had been prepared. Except for a few frogs jumping up from the moat, I didn't find anyone acting suspiciously.
If someone else had been in charge here, Yu Zhengrong would have left a few archers waiting and led his troops into the city to help Jiang Yan catch the enemy.
"rather……"
"Shh!"
Just when Yu Zhengrong was about to ask for the third time when the Japanese would come, Ning Wuhu put his finger on his lips to signal him to be silent.
At this time, Ning Wuyi, who was near the water, perked up and stepped back, quietly standing between Ning Wuyan and Yu Zhengrong.
"There are sounds under the water."
Almost as soon as Ning Wuyu finished speaking, a black shadow jumped down from the city wall.
It was Qin Toki who was tracking Iwasasaburo and Kono!
